It's the same thing with climate change. A lot of people still don't understand how bad it actually is.

The think that really drove that home for me is remembering how after long trips you'd have bugs splattered all over your windshield and front end. People even used to sell deflectors.
That doesn't happen anymore cause we've killed off most of the bugs...
It's different if you seen a war(even if it's a liveleak video), it keeps your feet on the ground when you have to decide to cast a pro/anti war vote or argue about it's merits.
That's what worries me about our sterilised internet: Things happen, but we are not allowed to peak under the cover to see what actually happen. Unless it’s something nice, it must be limited to the commentary of people who themselves may never seen how it is made or even worse, having their own agenda.
Sure, gore can brutalise people but if it's happening everyone deserves to see it.
Much more people used to claim that the Covid-19 is just the flu, until the footage of hospital corridors emerged.
